4-3-3: Liverpool’s starting XI against Real Madrid includes Kerkez, Wirtz, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, and Mohamed Salah.

Robertson and Mac Allister are omitted as Arne Slot implements five alterations to the initial lineup.

Major decisions regarding Florian Wirtz and Alexander-Arnold have been made: Predicted line-ups for Liverpool vs Real Madrid.

Liverpool returned to winning form by defeating Aston Villa last weekend, which ended a streak of four consecutive losses in the top flight.

They will aim to build on this momentum as they face Spanish giants Real Madrid at Anfield in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The Reds have won two of their first three European matches this season, having triumphed over Atletico Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt, despite a defeat to Galatasaray.

Manager Arne Slot will be looking for his team to enhance their chances of securing a spot in the knockout stage.

Real Madrid, managed by former Liverpool player Xabi Alonso, arrives in Merseyside with a perfect winning record, having defeated Marseille, Kairat Almaty, and Juventus. GIVEMESPORT has forecasted how both teams will set up for this encounter.

Liverpool Team News.

Liverpool will be missing their club-record signing Alexander Isak for the match against Real Madrid, as he continues to recover from a groin injury that has already kept him out of games against Brentford, Crystal Palace, and Aston Villa. Jeremie Frimpong is also unavailable due to a hamstring injury.

Georgia international Giorgi Mamardashvili will remain in goal as Alisson Becker continues his rehabilitation, while summer signing Giovanni Leoni is out for an extended period following a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. Central midfielder Curtis Jones is uncertain for the match.

Slot Provides Team News Update.

In his pre-match press conference, Slot confirmed that Alisson, Frimpong, and Isak will not be included in the matchday squad for the clash with Real Madrid. The Dutch manager stated:

All three players are unavailable. Jeremie and Alisson will not be available for Sunday’s match [against Manchester City]. As for Isak, we will have to wait and see.

He is definitely not starting; perhaps he could be included in the squad, but he is still not training, so we will wait and see.
